Exhibits, personal stories, multimedia experiences and programs about the 1960s focusing on everything from music and fashion to political protest will be featured at a new museum at the site of the 1969 Woodstock concert.

The Museum at Bethel Woods, about 90 minutes north of New York City, opens June 2.

The original three-day festival drew 400,000 people to hear Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, the Who and many other performers.

The Museum at Bethel Woods is part of the larger Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, an outdoor performing arts center and complex that plays host to an eclectic concert series and other events. For more information and a schedule of performances, go to www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

Visit a New England diner

Yankee magazine's 2008 Special Travel Guide hits newsstands Tuesday with recommendations for enjoying summer travel in New England, from places in Connecticut for art lovers, to moose-watching in Maine, to 244 "Editor's Choice" selections, broken down by state and region.

The issue also includes a feature on New England's five best diners, a list compiled by Richard Gutman, curator of the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., and author of three books on the history of diners.

The list includes the Modern Diner (364 East Ave., Pawtucket, R.I., (401) 726-8390), housed in a 1941 stainless steel railcar-style building. It was the first diner named to the National Register of Historic Places.
